December Pickups

I'll take the liberty of kicking off the December Pickup thread.

While doing some of my typical searches on eBay this morning, I came across this scarce PR photo taken of the 1944 Sampson Naval Training Center (NY) baseball team featuring several major leaguers including Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer, Hal White, Connie Ryan, Del Ennis and Red McQuillen. Vandy is the 2nd player from the left in the 2nd row from the bottom in the photo.
For the record, Sampson's 1944 baseball team went 25-2 against their competition including some major league teams including the Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox as well as several from the International League. Vandy pitched 5 times during their schedule, going 4-1.
I'm happy to add this to my Vandy collection.

Happy Holidays to everyone on net54!
